I have a 93 Honda Accord and sometimes when I turn the lights on at night the rear driving lights don't come on. The rear brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights will work but only the driving lights don't come on.

When this happens also the lights where the speedometer is don't come on.

I have already replaced the switch on the steering column as I thought that might be the problem but it has happened again since the replacement.

As I said it does'nt happen all the time-only occasionally.

Can anyone help me as I don't know what to check from here?

Thank you.

 

A few possibles.......poor ground or a dimmer going out.

Have a volt meter and willing to drive around with it and do some testing next time this happens?

 

The brake and turn signal run off of the same ground. So if they work the ground is good. I am thinking you have a bad headlight switch BUT I need more info... Do the front driving/parking lights work when you are having the problem? How bout the license plate and side marker lights?
